Chiefs Secure 10th Straight Playoff Berth

The Kansas City Chiefs secured their 10th consecutive playoff berth with a narrow 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, becoming the first NFL team to clinch a playoff spot this season. The game ended dramatically when a premature snap by Raiders center Jackson Powers-Johnson led to a fumble recovery by Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton, sealing the win with just 11 seconds remaining. Despite trailing 16-3 in the third quarter, the Raiders rallied to take the lead before the game's chaotic conclusion. Patrick Mahomes had a standout performance, becoming Kansas City's career leader in touchdown passes. The Chiefs, now 11-1, are aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl title, continuing their record-breaking streak of 14 consecutive wins in one-possession games. Head coach Andy Reid has led the Chiefs to the playoffs in all but one of his 12 seasons, reinforcing their status as a dominant NFL team.
